Time to treat meself to a GBA however I have just noticed that they do a neat 'SP' version. Has anyone got one and are they better than the original GBA - Can the ROMS still be flash-linked across

Cheers

don't know about the roms - but i bought my daughter an SP the other week - very nice bit of kit, integral rechargeable batteries and backlight etc.

I got her a game called broken sword 2 - then the other night i saw the same game in the video shop for a fiver so treated myself - its quite a good game for an old W95 effort.

The missus has a new SP and an original GBA.

SP is a lot better in that it has a light. Other than that, not much difference other than ergonomics. Light is a godsend though.

Dunno what this flash-linking malarky is though that you mention

Just looked up the flash-linking thing Dunno whether it's possible with the SP, can't see why not as it still uses the same cartridges from the normal GBA.

Me and the misses upgraded our GB Advance's to the SP version - the back light alone makes it worth buying!

Sounds good to me!

I believe that it is possible to download or even buy a DVD containing 100's of GBA/GBC roms - These can be flash linked across to your portable via your PC This system is purely used for 'Backing Up' your carts of course
